Xaaboemio Sea

The Xaaboemio Sea, also known as “Sea of the Dead”, is a turbulent ocean, just south of the Khydoban Desert. Within these waters, huge 100-foot wide whirlpools form, seemingly at random. Skilled sailors claim they can use these vortexes to their advantage in propelling their ships around the Obakasek Peninsula. However, wiser seafarers steer clear of this sea because its waters claim many careless mariners. Thus, most sailors risk the dangers of the Obakasek coast rather than venture out into the Sea of the Dead.

The Sea did not receive its name because of the giant whirlpools. Ghost ships, fully manned by undead crews, are said to sail these waters after dark. These tales gave this ocean its macabre name. Although these stories are unsubstantiated, superstitious sailors and pirates fear to enter these waters.
